The Sky (Alpha)----Showbread

I remember you
When you are wrapped in darkness
When the world closes her eyes
I remember you

I think of resting with you
When you finally go to sleep
Meet Me in the closet of your heart
So that you may lay at My feet

"Who is this," they said to Me
"That the wind and waves obey?
Come, lets hang Him on a tree,
That His reign should pass away"
But here I am
I say to you
Though you turn away, it is My will
To love you for forveremore
Peace
Be still

I ache for you
When My body cracks and I sigh
When I am wrapped in darkness
When the world closes her eyes

I think of you
When I breathe
When I rise and I bow
When time passes and stands still
Then, there
Here, and now

Matthias Replaces Judas-----Showbread
it is so that my transgressions have born a withered fruit, the sun has scorched the rising plans; alas they have no root, the bleached bones of animals bound by leather strips, dance through the air with laughter as i wield this wicked whip, as you did warn me carpenter, this world has weakened my heart, so easily i disparage, self-seeking the work of my art, and there you have come to me at the moment i bathe in my sorrow, so in love with myself, sought after avoiding tomorrow, where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you? and offer to wash my feet as i offer to disobey you, your beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail, so faithfully and dutifully i award you with betrayal, the weak and the down trodden fall on broken legs, as i walk past a smile i cast, fervor in my stead, but my bones like plastic, do buckle backward now, i lay in this field by Judas' bowels and anticipate the plow, i can not be forgiven; my wages will be paid, for those more lovely and admirable is least among the saved, and where would i fit Jesus? what place is left for me? the price of atonement is more than i've found to offer up as my plea, Jesus my heart is all i have to give to you, so weak and so unworthy, this simply will not do, no alabaster jar, no diamond in the rough, for your body that was broken, how can this be enough? by me you were abandoned, by me you were betrayed, yet in your arms and in your heart forever i have stayed!

Your glory illuminates my life, and no darkness will descend, for you have loved me forever, and your love will never end!

mewithoutYou - In a Sweater Poorly Knit

In a sweater poorly knit, and an unsuspecting smile
Little Moses drifts downstream in the Nile
A fumbling reply -- an awkward, rigid laugh
I'm carried helpless by my floating basket raft

Your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between sweeter than any wine, and bitter as mustard greens
Light and dark as honeydew and pumpernickle bread

The trap I set for YOU seems to have caught my leg instead

As YOU plow some other field and try and forget my name, see what harvest yields, and, supposing I'd do the same
I planted rows of peas, but by the first week of july -- they should have come up to my knees but they were maybe ankle high

Take the fingers from your flute to weave your colored yarns, and boil down your fruit to preserves in mason jars

But now books are overdue and the goats are underfed...

the trap I set for YOU seems to have caught my leg instead

You're a door-without-a-key, a field-without-a-fence
YOU made a holy fool of me, and I've thanked you ever since
If she comes circling back, we'll end where we'd begun
Like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one

Or if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken, open seed
If I come without a thing, I come with all I need
No boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head
The trap I set for YOU seems to have caught my leg instead



I
do
not
exist
only
YOU
exist
